Tourist Attractions & Monuments Kerala

The largest fort in Kerala is located near the beautiful beach of Bekal. Built in the 17th century, it is composed of a circular structure and flows into the Arabian Sea. A temple dedicated to the monkey god Hanuman is located at the entrance and a mosque built by Tipa Sultan of Mysore is nearby. Many Bollywood films have been shot there to enjoy its imposing beauty. From the top of its ramparts, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the coconut-lined beaches, fishing boats and the surrounding mosques.

Built in 1505 by the Portuguese, this imposing fort is one of the monuments protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. To access it, you have to go through a military zone. The fort is in good condition and very well maintained, with beautiful gardens and a beautiful view of the Arabian Sea. You can see a chapel, the soldiers' barracks, an old oil lamp lighthouse, and many cannons. Don't miss the stone engraved in Dutch with a pirate symbol. His visit is a pleasant walk.

Located a few kilometers from Sultan Bathery, the caves of Eddakal contain narcotic petroglyphs, remnants of a civilization that lived here about 6,000 years ago BC! It is accessed by a kilometer, lined with shops and shops of all kinds. Once arrived at the counter, there is a fairly hard climb to cross to enter the only cave open to the public. It's best to visit it at morning times when there is less traffic and also to enjoy spectacular views of the valley.

You will find a crocodile farm and a ornithological reserve around this dam. Possibility to take a boat tour. This area is part of the Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary established in 2010.

This is where the Thejaswini River flows into the Arabian Sea. A long white sandy beach still little exploited by tourism, there is a calm atmosphere conducive to solitude.

This park dedicated to the preservation and protection of snakes has many species, including royal cobra, Russell vipers, and pythons, but also some mammals. Unfortunately, it is not very well maintained and some animals make a little trouble seeing… a show that can shock the sensitive souls.

Located in Munnar, Kerala, India, Kanan Devan Hills Plantations Company (P) Limited Sales Outlet is a must for tea lovers. With a history dating back to British colonial times, this company is the largest employee-owned tea company in the world. The store offers a wide range of black and flavored teas to suit all tastes. You can also find special products such as classic green tea with rose or premium black tea with rose. In addition to tea sales, KDHP also has other activities, such as bungalow management and the production of natural extracts.

Dedicated to Shiva, it is located in the heart of the city. Built in the 14th century, it is one of the oldest temples in Kozhikode. This temple has a particular link with the cultural history of Kerala because it was the meeting point of poets and philosophers.

The Thangasseri lighthouse offers a breathtaking view of the coast from the top of its 41 meters. Built in 1902, it was recently equipped with an elevator which allows people with reduced mobility to visit it, but be aware that there is still a last floor to walk up to its summit

Local families often go for a walk on Sundays... Several animals can be found on the site: felines, monkeys, hippos, snakes, birds... The cages are small and the show is rather difficult to see. Small museums don't offer much either

These falls, which are more like rapids, are worth a look, but they are much less impressive than those of Athirapally. We therefore advise you to start the visit with these.

Without doubt one of the most interesting tea factories to visit. This tea factory has been in operation for more than a century. The guided tour is interesting to learn more about the different tea processing processes. A small museum briefly tells the story of the plantations in Munnar through some photographs and period objects. You can also visit the plantation with a tasting. And why not take the opportunity to bring back a personalized souvenir, namely a tea made by you?
